This must be a newer tisane at Harney and Sons because I had to add it to steepster myself and there is actually limited information on it on the Harney website. But it is pretty much what it is named, it is a fruit tea.

The dry tea appears to be a mixture of dried fruit and orange peel. It smells like a mixture of candied orange and grapefruit. It has the tartness but it not what I would consider blood orange.

The colour of the brewed liquor is hands down the colour of blood orange. But the smell of the brewed liquor is more like the rind of an orange peel.

The taste is actually quite good. It tastes more like a tangelo to me. Not blood orange at all. There is very minimal tartness to it. I did not see any hibiscus in the dry blend, and I do not pick up any taste of it in the brewed tea (and there are no ingredients listed on the website).

Overall a good orange flavoured tisane, but a disappointment in the blood orange tea search.

I am a lifetime tea lover.

I did foray into the world of coffee for a period of time, but I returned to my true love. I still, however, enjoy a good cup of java.

My all time favorite tea is Earl Grey, which I drink every morning, the stronger the bergamot the better. I definitely prefer natural oil of bergamot to artificial flavouring.

I mostly like black and dark oolong teas. My current favs are Fujian blacks, Keemun and Assams, and Wuyi oolongs. I gravitate towards anything with lychee in it. I also drink a lot of herbal blends but am wary of hibiscus. I do not favour mate, or pu’erh tea, although I have found a few blends that I like. (I so badly want to like straight pu’erh tea but it all tastes gross to me. I keep trying though). Rooibos, green and white teas fall somewhere in the middle. I find myself gravitating towards heavily roasted oolongs and teas from Paris/France based companies.

I love iced teas and cold brews.

My current tea goal is to make the perfect cup of chai from scratch – almost there…I think.

I am in love with the whole experience of tea.
